Common Challenges with Prenuptial Agreements in Divorce Cases

Toronto divorce lawyers frequently address several recurring issues when prenups are brought into question:

  • Disputing Validity: One spouse may argue that the agreement is invalid due to procedural or substantive flaws.
  • Claims of Duress or Coercion: Allegations that one party was pressured into signing, especially without independent legal advice.
  • Lack of Financial Disclosure: If one party failed to fully disclose their income, assets, or debts, the agreement can be challenged.
  • Outdated Terms: Agreements signed years ago may no longer reflect the current financial realities of the marriage.
